if its going up for a good amount of time, the best way to preserve it is to empty the liquids, jack it up to take the strain off the struts and springs, and cover it. It will also give you a amazing amount of time to do work on the car and with it off the ground and empty, you can tackle any project at all.

Hope you are all right after the accident, at least know that the person who hit you is paying for your car and making it nicer

x2...turn on it periodically so the oil gets run through the engine and everything stays lubricated....im not sure, but i think lucas oil makes a product that helps when cars are kept for a while.
